Dr. Jeffrey Davies, a
board certified family physician, also has a
Master’s degree in biomedical engineering. Prior to
entering medical school Dr. Davies spent 12 years
conducting research on hip and knee biomechanics at
the Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Davies’
continued interest in biomechanics has led him to
study how problems with the foot may lead to knee,
hip and back pain. Dr. Davies explains, “At the
Orthopedic Biomechanics Laboratory at Mass General
we would see patients after the joint had been
completely destroyed by osteoarthritis. I always
nagged by the question; what caused this joint
damage and how could it have been prevented? I am
now trying to find some of the answers.”
Abnormal foot motion can
cause excessive rotation of the lower leg and thus
stress concentrations in the hip and knee
cartilage. I believe that if the slight imbalances
of the foot are correctly diagnosed and then
corrected with foot orthotics not only will the
foot, knee and hip pain be relieved but the
devastating effects of osteoarthritis may be
prevented.”
